Making coffee on the way

[rogerthebodger]

That’s what I dream about

What type of cooker do you have as there is possible to make or buy a gimble and /or pan clamps

 

[kingsebi]

It looks antique and is called Vanette S2. It’s a bulky unit and there is no space to gimbal it. Chain and hook works as pan clamps. I guess if I ever cross an ocean it might be wise to invest in a new cooker. And so many other things!

 

[kingsebi]

Except as it fills, the espresso pot becomes top-heavy and gimbals aren't enough.

I speak from experience. Or should that be esperience?

Can’t happen with the chain

No flame-failure devices. Use with care.

Look round for an alcohol stove

I prefer to make coffee with water that is not boiling but around 90ç.

Those Italian coffee makers as in the pic, and the percolators use repeated boiling water, which is the death of good coffee.

The technical term is over extraction according to google!

When on relatively long trips in our semi-D flybridge cruiser (usually around 100 miles so not exactly ocean crossing) in bad weather we used to make coffee straight out of the hot which was near enough to boiling to make a decent cup of Nescafe.

You cant make a decent cup of Nescafe, pretty much by definition.

Also gratuitiously provided with superfluous impossible to clean corners. Offensive Italian form-over-function design

Oxymoron:
An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines contradictory words with opposing meanings, like “old news,” “deafening silence,” or ".....a decent cup of Nescafe.".

Heat brewing water to 97°C.
Fold filter paper and place in V60.
Rinse filter paper with hot water to remove taints and preheat vessel.
Grind the coffee at a medium grind (caster sugar).
Pour the ground coffee into the brewer and gently shake to flatten the coffee.
Place the V60 on scales and tare (zero).
Start your timer as soon as you begin pouring.
Using a circular motion, bloom the coffee by pouring 45 grams of water before 0:30 seconds.
At 0:30, start the second pour. This time pouring until 100 grams of water on the scales.
At 1:00, pour again until 150g is reached on the scale.
At 1:30, pour the final amount of water until 250g of water is in.
Wait for all the water to pass through the coffee grounds.
Your finished brew time should be around 3:00 - 3.30 minutes.
Enjoy.

Nowadays we use french presses to make coffee both at home and aboard, wedged in the sink when at sea. The calorifier water would be hot enough, but we can taste the tank, so use a separate bottle of fresh tap water, until it runs out and we're reduced to the tank stuff...

For quick & dirty beverages up mountains and the like I use the sachet mochas and hot chocolates. At least you can barely taste the dried coffee for all the sugar and coco!

 

[Chiara’s slave]

We have a stainless steel double wall french press. Boil the kettle, turn off. Warm the pot with a swill out of boiling water, put the coffee in, chuck the water in, lid on, place pot in the ‘downhill’ (ie not very downhill) corner of the cockpit to brew for a few mins or until an opportune moment to pour. We have not yet known the kettle to leave to stove, not even beating out of the Needles fairway with a Spring ebb under us. The kettle lives on the stove semi permanently. The galley is pretty much at the pitch pivot point, very handy.

Coffee, the new anchor.

We don’t grind beans on board, but don’t carry instant ‘coffee’.

We also don't carry instant but do grind beans (and drink the coffee without milk or sugar).

Sugar in your coffee is for builders and children.

 

[kingsebi]

In Greece they have a saying that those who drink their cofffee without sugar are the crazy ones. Even James Bond takes a little sugar.

 

[lustyd]

We just use the kettle and one of these. Great coffee and easy/safe to make

 

[ashtead]

Forget the hob -just use capsules in the nexpresso if you like variety in your coffee no need to use the nasty gas then in that elderly hob with any associated safety worries.

I have to admit that I am considering checking the power reqt's of my Coffee maker ... a suitable inverter may allow its use (sailboat) ...

Coat hangers were the Make Do alternative to chain ..

I’m not the world’s most ardent fan of gimballed stoves.
On the one tack its way out there and swinging away above you.
And on the other you’re pressed up against the crash bar trying not to bend over it as stuff bubble and steam below you.. Hey ho. Me fussy?

Put the stove on or n near the centreline and low down at the boats longitudinal axis of roll, so I can sit and cook, and enjoy that lovely Italian mocha, whatever the weather..
